Unstructured data lacks a predefined schema—think raw HTML pages, PDFs, or free-form social posts. Web scrapers collect this data, then parse it into structured tables or JSON.
Key steps:
- Ingest reliably: Fetch pages through Proxied rotating mobile proxies to avoid captchas and 403s.
- Parse & clean: Use NLP or regex to convert text into fields.
- Store: Load into NoSQL or data lakes for large-scale analytics.
